Pawty at Puppy Palooza - Megan C
We had a great time at Puppy Palooza this year! This event is held yearly at the Shoppes at Eastchase, and it is a huge fundraiser for the Montgomery Humane Society. Many pet vendors come out to the event to sell products and host pet-friendly activities. We couldn't have held the event without the support of Montgomery Subaru, who was the presenting sponsor. We had a great pawty that day, and adopted out five dogs! That alone is a huge success for any day at the shelter. In addition, Montgomery Subaru made custom engraved pet tags with a $5 donation, of which all the proceeds went to the Montgomery Humane Society. They also gave out great Subaru branded dog giveaways. We couldn't have had such a successful event without the support of Montgomery Subaru. So many dogs left the event happy and some even found their furever homes.

Earth Day Recycling at Herb Day - Megan C
On April 22, Montgomery Subaru sponsored Alabama Herb Society's Herb Day. This event draws several thousand people to support local nurseries, food vendors, and craft makers in celebration of Earth Day. Montgomery Subaru also brought their TerraCycle® collection bins to collect hard to recycle items (snack wrappers, cups, lids) that were being used in concessions. These items will be sent to a facility that pelletizes to a plastic and then turned to park materials. This recycling contribution was a great tie in to our efforts on Earth Day. Herb Day was the best ever, and Montgomery Subaru contributed to its success.
Montgomery Subaru Supports Hearts for Children Gala - Megan C
This February, Montgomery Subaru sponsored the Montgomery Capital Rotary Club's Hearts for Children Gala. This event benefitted the Montgomery Capital Rotary Club Disaster Relief Initiative and Lunches for Learning, which provides funding for children in Honduras to receive a free daily lunch at school. This fundraiser event would not be successful without the support of sponsors like Montgomery Subaru. We hope to continue this event and partner with Montgomery Subaru to help different childrens organizations yearly.
Subaru: Sharing the Love with a Community Garden - Traci H
Subaru USA is a nationwide partner of Meals on Wheels America and the largest automotive donor to Meals on Wheels. Subaru has helped deliver over 2.5 million meals to seniors around the country. In January 2022, The Montgomery Area Council on Aging (MACOA) benefitted from this outstanding relationship with the local dealership, Montgomery Subaru, as they partnered with MACOA to serve local seniors with a community garden. This garden provided fresh produce such as tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, yellow squash, green beans, okra, eggplant, hot/mild peppers, and more. Employees of the local dealership created the garden behind their building. Because of this community garden, MACOA was able to distribute locally grown produce to Meals on Wheels clients. “A lot of these seniors are in areas where they don’t have access to fresh produce and fresh foods,” said MACOA. MACOA is happy to have Montgomery Subaru as a treasured partner in the fight to end hunger and isolation in Central AL.

Montgomery Subaru Loves Pets - Lea T
Thanks to our partnership with Montgomery Subaru, we had a special adoption event at our shelter on October 8, 2022 where we were able to reduce our adoption fees. Megan Campbell from Montgomery Subaru came to our shelter and made custom name tags for each pet that was adopted and gave some great giveaways. Thanks to Montgomery Subaru, we had 10 adoptions that day and the majority of them were adult dogs which are usually the last to be adopted. We love our partnership with Montgomery Subaru, they give back to the community in so many ways and they certainly helped save so many pets lives at our event.
Garden Share Goes a Long Way at Montgomery Subaru - Megan C
For the last seven years, the plot of land behind Montgomery Subaru has been used for the betterment of people’s lives in a community garden. Each year, the space has grown to what is now a 1/8 acre space of Alabama-grown vegetables. It started as a way for employees and customers to take home nutritious food to their families. As the garden grew, there were more opportunities for this space to “give back.” Throughout the years, Montgomery Subaru has donated thousands of pounds of vegetables to various local charities. In 2022 they started a formal “Garden Share” to support the Montgomery Council on Aging, a local Meals on Wheels charity and Friendship Mission, a local homeless shelter. In summer 2022, the dealership staff planted 52 tomatoes, 8 eggplant, 16 bell pepper, 5 hot peppers, 3 rows green beans, 60 zucchini, 30 yellow squash, 28 cucumber, and 2 rows of okra. The garden has not only been a great team-building exercise for the staff, but its harvest also provides a great amount of nutritional value to those who need it most.
